Post From: Possible to Import Bid/Ask quotes from .CSV that doesn't have Trade quotes?

Hi SC,

I have a .csv that shows a new Bid/Ask quote anytime the price and/or volume of the Best Bid and/or Best Ask changes. By anytime, I mean changes that happen both on and/or in between Trades, not just on Trades.

This .CSV does not contain any Trade data. So I am wondering if it is possible to import it even though it has no Trade data?

For instance, this link http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TextCSVDataFormat.html#Formats says if it had Trade data I would import it in the following format.

Date, Time, Unused, Ask, Bid, Close, Number of Trades, Bid Volume, Ask Volume

Since it doesn't have Trade data, I am wondering if I could import it in this format
Date, Time, Unused, Ask, Bid, Volume, Bid Volume, Ask Volume

Thanks
